You're listening to REAL TALK, where clarity meets strategy, and survival meets truth. I’m your host Hegearl.

Today’s episode: "Understanding the Nature of Racism: Clarifing the Urgency for Black Unity"

Let’s get into it.

As Black people in America, we’ve asked the question a thousand times:

“Why are white people so racist?” My answer is that - Fixing the problem of White 'Racial Hatred' is not for Black folks to solve.

But in this moment—this dangerous, MAGA-fueled moment—that question has lost its urgency.

Because the real question is:

What are we doing to protect ourselves?

What are we doing to build the systems, the unity, the structure to survive what’s clearly coming? Because whether rooted in ignorance, delusion, or strategic design—racism continues to be the most consistent, coordinated threat to Black life. And if we’re going to survive it, we need to understand the game that’s being played. In this episode I take the construct of white supremacy and compare three thinkers. Some may believe or hope that White people will act human and we can work along side them, but these three opinion seems to come to a different conclusion.

Shahid Bolsen – Ignorance Is Not InnocenceBolsen makes it plain: white ignorance is not some accident of history. It’s a weapon. White people are systemically miseducated—just like us—so they can remain innocent in their own minds while still benefiting from the suffering of others. This isn’t a coincidence. It’s not just underfunded schools. It’s a system that teaches lies, omits truth, and protects white comfort. Because if they knew the truth and felt the weight of guilt? They might resist white supremacy. But this way—they don’t feel responsible. They just go along with it. That’s not passive.

That’s participation

Dietrich Bonhoeffer – The Danger of Stupidity

Bonhoeffer, a theologian who stood up to the Nazis, said something that still hits hard today:

“Against stupidity, we are defenseless. Arguments fall on deaf ears.”

He wasn’t talking about a lack of intelligence—he meant moral blindness.

The kind of person who truly believes they’re doing good, even while supporting injustice. In America today, millions of white people support racist policies—and feel righteous doing it. They don’t see the harm because they’ve convinced themselves they’re just “protecting their way of life.” That kind of delusion is immune to logic. It’s not just ignorance—it’s deeply held belief.

And that’s what makes it dangerous.

Dr. Frances Cress Welsing – Racism Is a Survival Strategy Dr. Frances Cress Welsing gave us one of the most important truths of the 20th century: Racism isn’t emotional. It’s not about hate. It’s about genetic survival. White supremacy is not personal—it’s strategic. It’s a global system built to preserve white dominance in a world where they are the global minority. Everything—economics, politics, education, even pop culture—is used to protect their survival and dominance. And whether they realize it or not, white people operate as a team. That’s not conspiracy—it’s instinct. Racism is a team sport.

And we need to stop pretending like it’s not.

Unity Is Not Optional – It’s a Matter of Survival

Let’s stop acting like we have time. The truth is, we’re being surrounded—politically, economically, socially. MAGA is not just a slogan. It’s a strategy. It’s the signal that they are ready to enforce their dominance by any means necessary.

There’s a popular debate: Is it evil or stupidity destroying America?

Let’s be clear — it’s both. But evil is in charge. We are not watching innocent mistakes. We are witnessing a white nationalist, authoritarian movement driven by cruelty, greed, and a deep belief in racial superiority.

This has been REAL TALK. Until the next episode

If racism is a team sport—then freedom must be too.

Stay Woke, Stay Building, and Stay Black on Purpose.
